Invite another child up and dress them up. Place the name tag on the child that says, The widow’s son. Say to the children, "This is the widow's son and I am going to tell you his story". Precede with reading Luke 7:11-16. When you have completed telling the story, explain that the widow's son is another witness that Jesus has power over death.

Invite one last child up and dress them up. Place the name tag on the child that says, One of Christ's Apostles.
